Imbiblical

Seth,

How drunk did you get last night?
Me?
Nicely. Nicely drunk.
I'm not trying to set a poor precedent for chatter themes but feel the need to speak on a new drink I had yesterday evening. It's called the Lambrusco. A red summer wine, served chilled and bubbly, it is served in an oversized glass and made me feel like a parched explorer stumbling upon a very chique oasis. I asked for further elaboration on the drink's origin.
The jittery bartender told me in Italy, the Italians consider it the Bud Light of wines.
Nodding, the ambiguity of that comment left me a little concerned.
